The Star Wars Holiday Special was the first appearance of the character of Boba Fett. While its just a cartoon, the character (if done correctly) is acceptable for inclusion in the 501st Legion. At this time there is only one person in the Legion who has this version of the suit approved.

The 501st Legion is a worldwide Star Wars costuming organization comprised of and operated by Star Wars fans. While it is not sponsored by Lucasfilm Ltd., it is Lucasfilm's preferred Imperial costuming group. Star Wars, its characters, costumes, and all associated items are the intellectual property of Lucasfilm.
